Members of Augusta’s art and music community joined forces for Jag Jam at Augusta University Saturday.
“I wanted to highlight the music and art scene for the students who are here. They’re not familiar with the local stuff, and it gives them a chance to see them,” said Coco Rubio, patron services coordinator at the Maxwell Theatre, in an April 17 Augusta Good News article.
While bands took the stage for five hours, artists painted outside the building.
